Connecting Social Services Data and Teams in Southern Oregon

—

Some families in Southern Oregon are involved with 13 different social service organizations and clinical providers that don’t talk to each other or share data. The Community Connected (C2) Network is being set up bring those agencies together.

Recently I wrote about a June 2 meeting of the federal Health IT Policy Committee’s Advanced Health Models and Meaningful Use Workgroup that focused on the challenges and benefits of integrating data from medical and human service organizations. The workgroup hopes to use the input to develop recommendations about the IT infrastructure that would support advanced models of care.
